TC’s computer & financial system
-
So, do you think there is any conflict of interest when the 14 PAP controlled town councils sold the Town Council Management System to a PAP owned company and then leased it back?

ChiefKiasu:
I am actually with you on this. Politics has indeed gotten in the way, and the political flavour of the PAP is particularly unpalatable. In a way it's just desserts for them, but it doesn't change the fact that I think this is a storm in a teacup.3Boys:
People who think its a big deal, will still consider it a big deal, those who think its trivial, will still consider it trivial. Nothing to do with facts of the case, just political affiliations.
Lol. That's very perceptive. It is politics. But there is also that group that is concerned with whether politics has gotten into the way of proper execution of rules and regulations. I suppose I am in that minority. -
I clicked 4th from top. I will add a nuance, conflicts of interest are indeed important in real life, but must be viewed as something dynamic and evolving, and not at a static point in time. Context and scale are also important. If I appoint my wife as a director of a $2 company I own, without due diligence on her fitness to serve, is that deemed to be a conflict of interest and should I be taken to CPIB for it?
Further, my take is that it was a conflict of interest with a political agenda, not a financial one.
Not that is should be allowed, but it is a vestige of the power structure that is being dissolved.
Sorry for a long discourse on a multiple-choice answer. -

I don't care because the PAP can do no wrong.

I simply don't care. -
Loved the part where they used TC’s money to engage a 3rd party D&T to enable the move. Past the cost to u and is really handy now. As brilliant as borrowing a knife from u to kill u.

Wows… That is hell a lot of options

I’m wondering if it is a few individuals deriving benefits from their positions or the party itself…

But if you abuse your position or influence of another entity and willfully give to her (or the company) contracts or dealings from that entity, that is against the best interest of the people whom you have a moral obligation to serve, in order to advance your self interest.. then yes. -

So that is a mighty long list of conditions, and I wonder if the text in bold have yet to be shown.

U underestimated. For this case, there is no benefits; just to frustrate competitor and make residents repent only. Other cases (maybe there are) I don know.
